Chapter 263: Substitute Death God
The long day finally ca to an end.
Under Norman Aoben's miserable screams, the second hand of ti just happened to pass midnight, and the curtains were completely drawn for yesterday.
It was only at this mont that Tony let out a long sigh of relief.
His nerves, which had been in a high state of tension, finally had a mont of respite. The exhaustion and powerlessness that followed, like a flood on a dam, swallowed him.
After removing the Shikai of Hephaestus, his spiritual power was directly consud.
"So... tired..."
Tony's eyes turned black, and his whole body could not muster any strength, and he directly began to fall from the sky.
"Sir, are you okay?" When Jarvis saw that the situation was not right, he imdiately took over control of Mark Four and helped Tony land in the ruins of the Science and Technology Expo.
"I... I'm fine..."
Tony fell to the ground in a big shape and said weakly, "It's just that the consumption is a little too much and I can't muster up any strength. Let
rest for a while. By the way, how is Potts? Is she okay?"
"Miss Potts was too sad and passed out, but there is no problem with her vital signs." Jarvis said.
Hearing that Potts was fine, Tony imdiately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good, I am relieved."
"Sir, allow
to ask you a question..." Jarvis showed a rare hesitation. "Your current state seems a little strange. Why can't I detect any signs of your existence?"
Although the modified Mark Four could be worn by spirits, Jarvis, who was an artificial intelligence, could not detect Tony Stark inside. So from the perspective of ordinary people and Jarvis, Mark Four was like a 'ghost cha'!
"Heh, of course you can't detect it."
Tony's eyes dimd slightly as he said bitterly, "Because I am in a soul state, the physical detection thod can't find ."
"Sir, you an... soul?" Jarvis did not doubt Tony's words. There was a hint of surprise in his chanical voice, "This is unbelievable, the soul actually exists!"
"It is indeed incredible." Tony nodded in agreent, then continued, "But what is even more incredible is that I actually beca death god."
"Sir,"
"What do you an by death god?" Jarvis was silent for a few seconds after searching the database. He suddenly felt that he could not keep up with his master's thoughts.
"The literal aning is to harvest souls and send people to hell. It should be a profession." Tony thought for a mont and said according to his own understanding.
"This... is too shocking." Jarvis did not know how to react.
According to its huge database, death god should be an existence like the 'myth'. It could not exist in the material world, but now this point of view was subverted!
"Yes... I also feel that it is incredible."
Tony clenched his fists tightly, feeling the explosive power that he had never felt before, as well as the spiritual power hidden in his soul. He said absentmindedly.
"The feeling of becoming death god, isn't it good?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
He would never forget that it was the owner of this voice that made him beco death god!
Finally... was it still here?
All the gifts from others needed to be paid a corresponding price!
This was his father, Dr. Howard Stark, who had repeated this sentence countless tis. When Tony grew up, he felt that it was true.
This power of death god was definitely not a free gift!
Now, it was ti for him to bear the 'price!'!
Huff... huff...
Tony took a deep breath and slowly stood up, looking towards the source of the sound.
Lod, dressed in a black tyrant outfit, his silver hair fluttered in the wind under the moonlight. His pair of azure blue eyes were as tranquil as the sea, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.
"You saw it all?"
Tony raised his eyebrows slightly. For so reason, he felt that his smile was a bit annoying.
"I saw it. You did a good job." A trace of praise flashed through Lod's eyes.
Even though he failed the four basic skills of the Ghost Slaying Fist, given that Tony was a half-dao monk, and his application of zanpakuto's ability was quite outstanding, it could be said that he made up for these points. Overall, it was still very good.
Tony stared at Lod, suppressing his nervousness, and directly asked sword, "Tell , what price do I have to pay?"
Lod narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "If I said... the price is death, what would you think?"
"Death?" Tony's pupils suddenly contracted and his face turned pale. "You... you are joking with , aren't you?"
"No."
Lod smiled and said, "In Soul Society's law, if you beco the soul of death god without permission, you will be sentenced to death imdiately."
Tony's eyes twitched. "But... you were the one who made
beco death god!"
"That's right."
Lod shrugged helplessly and said, "I was just joking. I didn't expect you to really succeed. This is a headache. If the central 46 finds out, I will also be punished."
This guy... is even worse off than !
Tony resisted the urge to slap him. He gritted his teeth and said, "According to what you said, what should I do?"
Lod raised two fingers. "Don't worry, I have two ways."
Tony widened his eyes. "What are those two ways?"
"The first way is to kill you. As long as I kill you now, Soul Society will never be able to do this. What do you think?" Lod smiled at Tony and said the most terrifying words with a gentle face.
"NO! PASS!!!!"
Tony was so frightened that he shuddered, and quickly waved his hand and shouted: "The second thod, i chose the second thod, murder is against the law!
"Tsk tsk..."
Lod shook his head with slight regret. Then, he took out an object from his pocket and threw it to Tony. "The second thod is to beco the substitute of death god. This way, you can temporarily hide from Soul Society."
Tony caught the object thrown at him and found that it was a special certificate that was neither gold nor copper. There was a skull printed on it. He asked in confusion, "death god... can this thing be used as a substitute?"
"Pretty much ---"
Lod was too lazy to tell him so much. He said, "This is the acting death god certificate. It can be used to detect abnormal Spiritual Power, ejecthis soul out of his body, and also suppress you, so that Soul Society can't detect your existence in a short ti."
"Short ti?" Tony frowned.
"Maybe forever, maybe tomorrow... In short, who can say for sure?" Lod smiled and comforted him, "If your luck is good enough, Soul Society might never find you in his entire life."
Tony's eyes twitched and he asked, "What if I am unlucky?"
"It's best not to."
Lod narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Once you are discovered by Soul Society, you will be sentenced to death. Believe , you will never want to taste the feeling of being burned to ashes by the flas after being pierced through by the 'Soukyoku'."
"I... understand."
Tony's heart sank as he tightly gripped his agent, death god's certificate.
From Lod's tone, he could tell that the punishnt known as the 'Soukyoku' was definitely not like the death penalty of the human world. It also pursued human nature!
"Oh right, you will need this thing."
Lod threw Tony a thick book and said, "Everything about death god, rember to do your job as a representative."
"The first grade teaching materials of the Spiritual Arts Academy?"
Tony was stunned. Just when he wanted to raise his head to ask, he found that Lod had disappeared.
